941 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES:NOVEMBER 10,1964
REFERRAL FROM PLANNING COMMISSION -PROPOSED ORDINANCE RE:SET-BACK ON
CERTAIN ARTERIAL STREETS
Letter was read from Building and Planning Director,Merle W.
Hoeft,submitting the Planning Commission's recommendation to
establish a minimum front yard building setback of 25 feet on
the East side of Stratford Road from the fill area to Highway 17,
The Planning Commission also requested Council to reconsider a
previous denial and establish a minimum 25 foot front yard set
back for the area along West Broadway from Marina Drive to the
"HS"highway service zone.
Mayor Stadshaug recalled that the 25 foot set-back on West
Broadway had come before Council some time ago. At that time
the zoning ordinance was amended, but the set-back provision was
not included.
Mr.Waggener said that timing on the Stratford Road set-back
might be important,as there was a possibility of a request for
a building permit.
It was suggested that Council should meet with the Planning
Commission in a study session.
Motion by Ebbert,seconded by McDonald,that the City Manager
be authorized to prepare a proposed Ordinance to present at
the next Council meeting,regarding the set back on Stratford
Road.Motion carried.
Mr.Thompson reported that the Planning commission has scheduled
a study session for Thursday morning,November 12, at 7:00 a.m.
at the Pancake House.
RESOLUTION -STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT -REVISION OF ACCESS PLANS 5SH 11G
jqIQ Mr. Waggener showed prints of the revised access plan on SSH
11G from Nelson Road to G ape Drive.The only changes in this
revised plan are in the Nelson Road area.This plan will permit
the school access driveway to remain,but the Highway Department
wants a locked gate so people other than school buses will not
use the access road.
Mayor Stadshaug suggested that School Board concurrence be
obtained prior to adopting the Resolution.
Motion by McDonald,seconded by Eng,that the item be tabled for
consideration by the School Board.Motion carried.
AGREEMENT -STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT -MAINTENANCE OF FRONTAGE ROAD
1'ty Mr.Waggener showed maps of the area,and explained that this
goes back to an agreement between the City and the State Hiohway
Department dated a little more than 5 years ago. At that time,
when PSH No.18 was under construction,Miss Longston,and the
people operating the transmitter station,were denied access by
the fill.The City Council interceded in her behalf,and an
agreement was reached which required relocating a fence,at a
cost of $1036.00.This money has been deducted from state gas
tax monies,and the ^ity has been reimbursed by Miss Longston.
The Resolution adopted by the Council at that time,spells out
the same provisions that are in this agreement,principally
that the City accepts maintenance of the front ge road.The
State Highway Department needs the signed agreement to complete
their records.This agreement doesn't require the City to do any
thing unless it becomes a public thoroughfare.Work has been
done,but it has been done by KSEM.
Motion by Holm,seconded by Eng, that the agreement be accepted.
Motion carried.
NOVEMBER 10, 1964 942
SEWAGE TREATMENT -RATE AGREEMENT WITH PRONTO FOODS,INC.;j(*c
Mr.Waggener explained the provisions of the proposed agreement
between the City of Moses Lake and Pronto Foods.He pointed out
the possible need for an addendum to Paragraph 6,providing
that should the costs be greater,they will also be passed on
to the industry.Mr.Calbom suggested that rather than re-write
the agreement,an addendum letter be written.
Mr.Waggener said that Mr.Calbom has pointed out that there is
a serious question as to whether this Council can commit a future
Council to an agreement such as Paragraph 11
Motion by Hardin,seconded by McDonald,that the agreement be
accepted,with the provision that the Addendum letter concerning
paragraph 6,be attached.Motion carried.
SEWAGE TREATMENT -REQUEST TO ENGAGE CONSULTING FIRM
/O
Mr.Waggener requested authorization to engage the firm of Stevens
and Thompson for engineering services on modifications to Sewage y^j-
Treatment Plant,Wheeler St.Pumping Station and Trunk sewers.'^
He explained that this is a very detailed contract which spells /
out exactly what Stevens and Thompson is to do, and what the City
is to do.
Motion by Holm,seconded by Ebbert,authorizing the Cj_ty Manager
to engage the firm of Stevens and Thompson for engineering services.
Motion carried.
